To keep things warm.

On the head - to keep warm since 75% of the bodyheat leaves that way.

Eyelashes - to protect the eyes. Ask anyone who has lost their eyelashes due to chemotherapy for instance and they will tell you how sensitive their eyes have gotten.

Nosehair - functions as a filter.

Armpits and genital area - we have sweat glands there so the hair is for keeping the area airy, even if it sounds weird. It's for preventing skin against skin in a warm, moist area so bacteria wont like it there.

The hair on our arms and legs is a remnant from our hairier, more apelike days.
